Eyaddy, 27 Dec 2024when it comes to Xiaomi when they make something its either... moreXiaomi still has more hits than Oppo, Vivo, and Realme combined. At least in the global market.

Oppo and Realme would gladly sell you a 250 EUR e-waste phone with 720p LCD, no gyroscope, and mono speaker 😂. Meanwhile you can buy a Poco X6 Pro for the same price and get pretty much everything better.

            Instead of making claims that are not true, there is no such law, companies themself decide to not include the brick in box.

              pl2rts, 28 Dec 2024I tough that was the case with Samsung and Apple. When i go... moreSome EU countries don't get a charger from Xiaomi in box, like my country.

              With Apple, Google, Samsung or Sony that was less of a issue, even while I think the charger should be included.

              But those brands support standarized charging tech, a Pixel charger will charge all 4 at it's full capacity, same with samsung charger or even 3rd party ones like from Anker.

              But chinese brands use proprietary charging, friend of mine bought a Honor Magic 6 Pro recently and it's a great phone, but Honor just like Xiaomi sell the phones here, even tablets, smartwatches, or kitchen appliances.

              But they never sell any of their accessories here, Honor, Xiaomi and Huawei all have that issue

              He had to import the charger at a premium, because regular PD chargers don't work with Honor or Xiaomi because of proprietary charging tech, his Anker stuck at 18 watts for his Honor, the same anker that charger his Tab S9 at 45 watts, his ROG Ally at 65 watts and his (work) Pixel phone at 25 watts.

              Anyhow importing Honor charger solved his issue and he has the full speed charging, but not including a charger with brands like Honor or Xiaomi is a gigantic issue because you will not be able to charge them at their claimed speeds, because of proprietary charging tech.

              Sony, Apple, Samsung and Pixel don't have that issues.

              But again, and I am sure people will ignore this oart of what I an saying.

              No matter the brand, bricks should be in the box, end of story.

                Nah man, not the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ getting the winner.

                  johan007nl, 28 Dec 2024Not to mention we get NO chargers in the box!!! But we have... moreI tough that was the case with Samsung and Apple. When i got Poco F5 it had 67W charger in it. I have not heard they removed the charger in the box for specifically to EU. I dont also know that EU have it like mandatory to remove charger from the box and always tough that was what Apple made to make more profit and then Samsung fallowed.

                  Now if they remove it then how they expect people to find a charger to get that support the speeds of charging. Never mind that i cant find cables that get me that 67W speeds. And i have tried several cables that say support for 67W and even 120W but still do maybe 33W as the phone dont show the turbo charging so who knows in what speed it charges.

                      Xiaomi 14 ultra, a phone plagued with issues. EU prices are too high. Finally then managed to start rolling out monthly securty patches but I don't think that it will be enough for me to look info upcoming ultra models.

                        Winner : Xiaomi

                        Looser : hyperOS

                          Narazumono, 27 Dec 2024Xiaomi car lmaoo Just when i thought i'd seen everyth... moreIt's easier to count what Xiaomi dont make then count what they make.
                          Also there was some video i watch not long ago where Ford CEO praised the Xiaomi SU7 to high heavens and would prefer to have one over Ford electric cars.

                            Why is Redmi and Xiaomi 14T a winner ? Both are too expensive and nothing special. Xiaomi 14 series already have dropped the price to the point it's around same as the T series
                            Redmi also is boring and already like 3 years are not bang for a buck to be a winner.

                            Poco series is a loser for some reason. Even tough you get good performance for cheap prices and they are still flagship killers cause Poco never was a phone with good cameras on it so you can't make them a loser cause they dont have flagship cameras. While Poco never had them. Poco even have lighter HyperOS on them or in the past MIUI like they advertise it. Never mind that a lot of Poco phones are rebrand of remi with cheaper price and you say Poco is a loser while make Redmi a winner how does that even make sense ?

                              Panino Manino, 28 Dec 2024"Judging by our tests, Xiaomi's phones have strug... moreOxygenOS/ColorOS is just as smooth yet is a battery powerhouse so it's just Xiaomi having horrendous optimization. The Chinese version seems to be far more optimized that the global one, all Chinese Xiaomi phone tests yield far better battery life so ig Global HyperOS is TERRIBLE. The latest HyperOS phones (Xiaomi 15 series) seem to have exceptional battery life, can't wait for them to be reviewed and stuff. Let's see how HyperOS 2 fares. Don't think it'll beat others but if it's 80-90% of whatever the X200 Pro achieved im gonna be happy

                                Actually the ONLY 2 Poco phones that got hype were the Poco X6 Pro and the F6.

                                And about the T tier, the 14T sold a lot but the 14T Pro had more hype

                                  Don't get it. Poco's especially F series always have been those (redmi turbo/GT) models with above average performance (close flagship SoC and faster memory), not bad screens and worse cameras than similar priced global redmi models and many other models from other companies. So i don't know what can they do with not increased price that much.

                                    Anonymous, 28 Dec 2024Losers: Europe Where prices are increased by almost 10... moreBut as far as I remember, Xiaomi is the only Chinese company that has their smartphone price way above the Chinese counterpart, WITH counting the VAT, because the other Chinese brands like Honor, Vivo, Huawei, and the rest that came into EU and with VAT market like Germany where I was residing few months back, wasn't even that higher compared to the Chinese market. I don't know how long it has been this way though.

                                        Where prices are increased by almost 100% compared to China making Xiaomi Ultra the highest margin , even above iphone pro max.
